Before Night Falls Page #4
Pepe, we've got the Bronte|sisters in the back-seat.
Look at them.
Lezama is a Catholic;|Virgilio is an atheist.
So what do they|have in common
besides being faggots?
Lezama doesn't type,|he writes everything by hand.
Something you|wouldn't understand
It's called|intellectual honesty.
I don't understand!
Well, if you took the time|to actually read their books,
maybe you'd have something|intelligent to say about it.
Oye,|look at this.
Give him the cigarettes.
Oye, guapo!
Maricones!
Mariquita! Mariquita!
Hazle comer|el mojn de caballo!
Coo! Qu es eso?
Qu pasa ahora?
Oye, welcome to our picnic,|compaero.
Tranquilo,|no te muevas de all.
- What do you want?|- Shut up.
What do I want?
I want Carlos first|to frisk this guy.
Why him?
See if he's got a weapon.
He's not even dressed.
What's your name?
My name?
Franz Kafka.
You're funny.
You think I'm ignorant?
Let's see how|ignorant you are.
Ever heard of a summer camp|called La Isla de la Juventud?
No, then maybe|you can tell me...
when was the last time|you took it up your ass?
The last time?
Oh, I don't remember.
You don't remember?
But, I remember|the last time you did.
When was that?
Maybe the last time|you bent over
to tie your boots?
Est bien,|lo ves, no?
Est bien, est bien.
Do you have a cigarette?
Yes, I have a cigarette.
There was also a sexual|revolution going on
that came along with excitement|of the official revolution-
but the drums of militarism|were still trying to beat down
the rhythm of poetry and life.
When I wasn't at my job|at the library,
or guard duty,|or attending rallies,
there were three|wonderful things
that I enjoyed|in the 60's:
my typewriter, at which I sat|like a dedicated performer
sitting at his piano;
when everyone was ready|to break free;
and lastly, the full discovery|of the sea.
Did you ever notice there|are four categories of gays?
Really?
Really.
Which are they?
Well, the first one|is the dog collar gay-
He's loud,
shows off that|he's gay,
there's no limit|to his sexual voracity,
therefore he's constantly|being arrested.
The system has created|a permanent collar
around his neck,
so they can|hook him up
and take him to|a rehabilitation camp
like a Valparaso.
Two is the common gay.
He's made his commitments|with other gays,
has a job, film clubs,
likes to sip tea|with his friends,
writes a poem|now and then,
only has relations|with other gays,
never takes a risk,
and never gets|to know a real man.
The third one,
the closet gay,|okay,
nobody knows|he is gay.
He's married,|has children,
hides on his way|to the bathroom,
still wearing the ring|that his wife gave him.
